STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS PERSIST ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST THIS
MORNING AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. THESE WINDS ARE CONTINUING
TO TRANSPORT UNSEASONABLY WARM AND HUMID AIR INTO THE REGION. A
LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WHILE THE INSTABILITY
WILL NOT BE VERY GOOD...THE STRONG WIND FIELDS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE
AT LEAST A FEW SEVERE STORMS AS THE LINE MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.

GOING FORECAST IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND SEE NO REASON TO MAKE CHANGES
AT THIS TIME. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER WATCHES WILL
INCREASE AROUND MIDDAY.

BAK

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 330 AM CST SAT DEC 27 2008

DENSE FOG ADVISORY WILL BE CANCELLED FOR FULTON AND KNOX COUNTIES
AS VISIBILITIES HAVE GREATLY IMPROVED WITH WARM FRONT LIFTING
NORTH INTO NORTHERN IL EARLY THIS MORNING.

00Z SHORT RANGE MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT THIS WEEKEND AS

HEAVY RAINS NW OF A RUSHVILLE TO BLOOMINGTON LINE. CONVECTION
SHOULD OVERSPREAD REST OF CENTRAL IL DURING THIS MORNING AND MAY
NOT GET INTO SE IL BY THE WABASH RIVER UNTIL LATER TODAY. DECIDED
TO REMOVE SE COUNTIES OUT OF FLASH FLOOD WATCH THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING SINCE THEY ARE EXPECTING LESS RAINFALL OF 1 INCH
OR LESS AND NO SNOW/ICE MELT THERE. STRONG WIND FIELDS TODAY AHEAD
OF COLD FRONT AND BEHIND COLD FRONT THIS EVENING ESPECIALLY FROM
I-55 EAST WHERE WIND ADVISORY ISSUED. WINDY OVER THE IL RIVER
VALLEY BUT APPEARS BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA AT THIS TIME WITH
IS SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30 MPH AND/OR WIND GUSTS OF 45 MPH OR
STRONGER. SPC PUSHED SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON
SW OF CWA. BUT WITH SUCH STRONG WIND FIELDS...STILL COULD BE A FEW
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH HIGH WINDS EAST OF I-55. BUMPED UP
HIGHS TODAY INTO THE 60S... RANGING FROM 60F NW OF THE IL RIVER TO
LOWER 70S NEAR THE WABASH RIVER. NEAR RECORD HIGHS TODAY WHICH ARE
64F AT PEORIA AND LINCOLN WHILE 66F AND SPRINGFIELD.

THE MIDWEST DURING MID WEEK WITH DRY WEATHER THROUGH THU. COLD
FRONT PASSES THROUGH IL DRY ON TUE WITH SOME COOLING BEHIND THE
FRONT TUE NIGHT AND WED WITH TEMPERATURES GETTING CLOSER TO
NORMAL. ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES INTO IL THU NIGHT INTO FRI AND
APPEARS TO HAVE A BIT MORE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH TO BRING A CHANCE
OF LIGHT SNOW. 00Z GFS BECOMES MUCH STRONGER WITH LOW PRESSURE
EJECTING INTO IL BY SUNSET FRI BUT 00Z ECMWF HAS THIS LOW PRESSURE
PASSING NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. SO BIG DIFFERENCES HERE WITH
THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND TENDED TO LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF
SOLUTION. LOOKS LIKE SOME COOLING AGAIN BEHIND THIS SYSTEM BY
WEEKS END.
